Margrave of the Marshes

Being in the states, I never got a chance to really hear enough of John Peel. He was one of the most renown DJs in Britian and admired for his knowledge and passion for music. His "Peel Sessions" are legendary.

He died suddenly of a heart attack before completing Margrave of the Marshes, which was completed by his wife Sharon. It left me wanting evenmore. Wish he could have written a book on the musicians he met and fostered.

Correction noted, his wife is Sheila. My mistake.

  • Have you read the book? After all, it is mentioned several hundred times, his wife's name is SHEILA!
